Looks like they are still doing construction.
Someone could sneak in and get the documents in question.

Obama Advisor Susan Rice’s Unmasking Material is at the Obama Library

Supreme Court to Hear Big Case Against Proposed Wisconsin Redistricting
Your Judicial Watch performed a massive public service this week. We exposed how key Obama spying scandal documents, including the infamous Susan Rice unmasking records, were moved to the Obama Presidential Library.
The National Security Council (NSC) informed us by letter on May 23, 2017, that the materials regarding the unmasking by Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice of “the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team” have been removed to the Obama Library.
The NSC will not fulfill our April 4 request for records regarding information relating to people “who were identified pursuant to intelligence collection activities.”
The agency also informed us that it would not turn over communications with any intelligence community member or agency concerning the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election; the hacking of DNC computers; or the suspected communications between Russia and Trump campaign/transition officials. Specifically, the NSC told us:
Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act , Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.
Our April 4 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request sought:
1.) Any and all requests for information, analyses, summaries, assessments, transcripts, or similar records submitted to any Intelligence Community member agency or any official, employee, or representative thereof by former National Security Advisor Susan Rice regarding, concerning, or related to the following:
- Any actual or suspected effort by the Russian government or any individual acting on behalf of the Russian government to influence or otherwise interfere with the 2016 presidential election.
- The alleged hacking of computer systems utilized by the Democratic National Committee and/or the Clinton presidential campaign.
- Any actual or suspected communication between any member of the Trump presidential campaign or transition team and any official or employee of the Russian government or any individual acting on behalf of the Russian government.
- The identities of U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team who were identified pursuant to intelligence collection activities.
2.) Any and all records or responses received by former National Security Advisor Susan Rice and/or any member, employee, staff member, or representative of the National Security Council in response to any request described in part 1 of this request.
3.) Any and all records of communication between any official, employee, or representative of the Department of any Intelligence Community member agency and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice and/or any member, employee, staff member, or representative of the National Security Council regarding, concerning, or related to any request described in Part 1 of this request.
The time frame for this request was January 1, 2016, to April 4, 2017.
While acknowledging in its FOIA request that “we are cognizant of the finding by the Court of Appeals … that [the NSC] “does not exercise sufficiently independent authority to be an ‘agency’ for purposes of the Freedom of Information Act,” we argued:
The records sought in this request pertain to actions by the former National Security Advisor that demonstrate a much higher degree of independent authority than was contemplated by the court; specifically, the issuance of directives to the Intelligence Community related to the handling of classified national security information…
The recent revelations of the role of Susan Rice in the unmasking the names of U.S. citizens identified in the course of intelligence collection activities and the potential that her actions contributed to the unauthorized disclosure of classified national security information are matters of great public interest.
We have filed six FOIA lawsuits related to the surveillance, unmasking, and illegal leaking targeting President Trump and his associates (see here , here , here , here , here and here ).
Prosecutors, Congress, and the public will want to know when the National Security Council shipped off the records about potential intelligence abuses by Susan Rice and others in the Obama White House to the memory hole of the Obama Presidential Library. We are considering our legal options, but we hope that the Special Counsel and Congress also consider their options and get these records.
As noted, the records could be squirreled away from the public for at least five years, but there are ways they can be obtained almost immediately under law. The exceptions to Obama Library records restricted access are as follows:
“subject to any rights, defenses, or privileges which the United States or any agency or person may invoke, Presidential records shall be made available–
(A) pursuant to subpoena or other judicial process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction for the purposes of any civil or criminal investigation or proceeding;
(B) to an incumbent President if such records contain information that is needed for the conduct of current business of the incumbent President’s office and that is not otherwise available; and
(C) to either House of Congress, or, to the extent of matter within its jurisdiction, to any committee or subcommittee thereof if such records contain information that is needed for the conduct of its business and that is not otherwise available;
You can see that both President Trump and Congress can quickly get ahold of these records. As JW considers it legal options, they should both move quickly to preserve, protect, and disclose the Obama spying scandal documents to JW and the American people.
Amen to that!
The Barack Obama Library and Bathhouse does not actually exist, yet. Therefore, the desired files remain on numerous hard drives and probably in transcript form at numerous locations in the Country. I’d look on Susan’s personal computer first. If the authorities really want them, and refuse to play the old kabuki theater routine which has been the fave in DC for many decades. Not even Obama is above the law, unless EVERY man Jack in DC has sold their souls for some filthy lucre.
Well, for Obama, I think it would have MEN’S Speedo’s or thong catalog pictures....
A simple order from Trump and they’d have the records. And he doesn’t have to say pretty please. Trump not intervening will speak volumes. Not good.
Sue for stealing federal government records.
Bush refused to prosecute Clinton, Now Trump is doing the same for Obama and his minions and the clintons, the protection force is strong in the WH.
THERE IS NO OBAMA LIBRARY...this means they are in a Dem lockbox...probably under Hillary’s control
Where “is” the Obama Library?
Okay President Trump you know what to do.
Looks like Bammy and his crooked administration tried to pull another fast one.
I'm sure the enemedia will lie to the American people pushing the narrative these cannot be accessed for five years.
President Trump should undo zer0bama's executive orders sealing zer0's school records if they continue to try to pull this crap on the American people.

===============================================
As of March 2017, Susan Rice (Obama's hand-picked Ntl Security Advisor) has begun a job as a Distinguished Visiting Research Fellow in the “American University’s School of International Service.”....
During her residency at A/U, Rice will work primarily on her next book and mentor SIS students on careers in national security.
A/U defines Susan Rice's position with Obama thusly: ”She provided the President with daily national security briefings and was ‘responsible for’ coordinating the formulation and implementation of ‘all aspects’ of the Administration’s foreign and national security policy, intelligence, and military efforts.

Talking Points: sever all federal funds to this institution while Susan Rice is employed there.
It’s a dream now but some day it’s supposed to be in Chicago, I won’t be visiting.
Bump!
Questions for Rice:
1. As Obama's National Security Advisor, when did you request the unmasking, and from which govt agency?
2. Who in that govt agency actually did the unmasking? Please provide the written requests you submitted.
3. Once the names were unmasked, did you and Obama still believe there was a threat to US national security from the named US persons?
4. If so, with whom did you share this crucial information, and what actions were taken by you or Obama to protect America and American citizens?
5. If you or Obama failed to act, then you should not have shared the names with anyone else. So how did the names become known?
6. Was any of the info detailed here deliberately withheld on the FISA application? (it's a felony to willfully withhold information when applying for a FISA).
=====================================
(HAT TIP OMEGATOO)
<><> If the information found in the ‘incidental’ involvement of any US Person was threatening US Security, and America citizens' safety, why did US security agencies wait for Susan Rice’s request to unmask?
<><> Did Obama issue a secret stand-down order in the face of putative threats to Americans?
<><> Why did Susan Rice appearing on PBS-TV initially deny responsibility for the unmasking?
<><> Why was this threat not unveiled at the time, nor since? Why now?
<><> Alarmingly, the supposed ‘threat’ identified by Susan Rice was about to be inaugurated as President of the US. Shouldn’t Congress have been notified?
<><>Why did Susan Rice keep it a secret? Maybe she and Obama had "other plans?" W/ the Clintons?
The NSA didn’t unmask the information initially, plus later investigations found NO collusion between Russia and Trump. Seems to be proof-positive that whatever suspicions Obama/Rice/Brennan may have had to justify the unmasking were absolutely wrong, or more likely non-existent.
==================================================
That all of this did not make headlines earlier appears to enhance self-serving Obama's more recent fairy tale........ congratulating himself as the person solely responsible for "stopping" a Russian plot.
Does Susan Rice mind Obama throwing her under the bus?
Yeah, I need a physical address for that. What a crock of shit.
“These plans show the contradictions of the Obama presidency itself,” she says. “He sees himself as this transformational figure, and this as a transformational building. But he may be forgetting the core function of a presidential library, which is to house the documentation of a president “ (see https://www.wired.com/2017/05/obama-pioneers-new-approach-presidential-library/).
Looks like they are still doing construction.
Someone could sneak in and get the documents in question.
Most appropriate! LOL!
ValJar didn’t “forget” that purpose. She is intentionally subverting it.
True. The point is not lost on many of us. Problem is Trump will not “go there”. Sessions is sitting on all criminal matters against Dems. They will never see the light of day. Trump could have those records in 5 minutes. He could also order charges against everyone involved. The records belong to the Department for which Rice worked. This doesn’t change with an Administrative change. They can’t send the records elsewhere(not legally). This is pure and simple Obstruction and Trump/Sessions need to get down & dirty and take care of the matter.
